Moulting in the middle of december??????

My light Brahma hen (almost a year old) is having her first moult! I'm really worried about her because she has lost almost ALL of her feathers and it's really cold (under 50 degrees) I thought about doing a heat lamp, but because she is the lowest hen on the pecking order the bigger hens probably wouldn't let her anywhere near it anyway Any Idea's?

I wouldn't worry too much. One of mine is just coming out of her molt and one is going through hers now and it has been pretty cold here. I just added extra pine shavings in the coop for insulation. My coop is nearly all open air coop too exept for where the roost and nest boxes are.

My nearly naked girl would stand there huddled and shivering outside. I'd put her in the coop and she'd stay inside for an hour or so, but come back out...to huddle and shiver some more. I stuck her inside our unheated (but insulated) garage for the better part of two days (back in the coop each night) until the majority of her quills began poking through... She still looks like something the cat dragged in, but at least I'm not seeing all that pink skin any longer.

Mine always seem to moult in December and I'm in Vermont. i don't get it! It doesn't make biological sense for them to do it in Dec. I have no suggestions other than to try to keep them warm. Add some hay to the coop perhaps? And the heat lamp might still help.
